Faces
=====

These options control the display faces that WoMan uses to format the
man page.

`woman-fontify'
     A boolean value.  If non-`nil' then WoMan assumes that face
     support is available.  It defaults to a non-`nil' value if the
     display supports either colours or different fonts.

`woman-italic-face'
     Face for italic font in man pages.  Default: italic, underlined,
     foreground red.  This is overkill!  `TROFF' uses just italic;
     `NROFF' uses just underline.  You should probably select either
     italic or underline as you prefer, but not both, although italic
     and underline work together perfectly well!

`woman-bold-face'
     Face for bold font in man pages.  Default: bold, foreground blue.

`woman-unknown-face'
     Face for all unknown fonts in man pages.  Default: foreground
     brown.  Brown is a good compromise: it is distinguishable from the
     default but not enough so as to make font errors look terrible.
     (Files that use non-standard fonts seem to do so badly or in
     idiosyncratic ways!)

`woman-addition-face'
     Face for all additions made by WoMan to man pages.  Default:
     foreground orange.
